The three potential ideas for my artwork project are as listed below:
1. Fractals (Shape as in the shape it makes when drawn in a graph)
2. Helix Symmetry
3. Fractal 1- (Sieranskis Triangle)

The videos were both funny and a little bit dull on the third video.
For the first video, Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land, ideas that surprised me were mostly about the golden ratio. It was interesting how Pythagorus theorem is related to the music today such as octaves and some sports that we play such as soccer. All of these ideas in the video are mathematical as it is all related to the golden rectangle/ratio, or also known as Phi.
For the second video, Ted talk, was again about Golden Ratio. The most surprising examples that was spoken was nearly everything in our life is based on the golden ratio. Also, when I saw that plastic surgeons use the golden ratio, I was suprised.
For the last video, I think human beauty is what you want it to be, its really a matter of personal opinion. But personally I believe that human beauty is about whats on the inside, which is a little bit more complex for simple numbers to explain. I found it interesting that plastic surgeons can use maths to create the “perfect” face. Same as the previous paragraph. (This was a really boring one…..) 🙂

This lesson began with us constructing a rectangle which formed a triangle with sides in the ratio of one is to phi. This really got me thinking as to what other shapes could have the same ratio in their sides. Then we looked at many monumental structures which also incorporated the Golden Ratio. After we looked at a few videos which talked about how the Golden Ratio itself exists nearly everywhere including us. This was an interesting lesson as I first believed this would be boring and fully mathematical but it was actually fun and it really opened my eyes about the beauty of maths. The lesson concluded with us briefly touching on the golden spiral and looking at it and drawing it for our homework.

In the very first lesson of this class/course, I was quite curious yet worried of all the things we would be learning throughout the entirety of this course. I feared that we would be learning all complex topics that were associated with 4 unit maths for 12 and felt scared of learning ahead of my peers and that I would not understand anything in this course. However, the first lesson was thoroughly interesting and we also learnt about series and famous Grandi. I never knew that such a simple concept played a huge part in the basics and fundamentals of maths and this provided me with hope as maths could actually be fun! This brought to me a new curve and side to maths and how series can be applied and utilised in many different ways.

In this lesson, it was hard to believe that we were still under the topics of fractals, but once you showed us the graph at the end, it was very believeable.
The complex numbers later on, REALLY confused me. I found it quite tough to understand in the beginning of the iterated functions, it got me quite confused, and made me go home and research some more. But overall, it was a fun lesson.

I learnt, in this lesson that every single rectangle follows a specific concept. It is displayed in every day objects, such as a human’s face.
I also never knew that music evolved from maths, and that it is a form of the golden ratio.
The ratio is part of everything, found everywhere, same with the concept of phi

The first lesson began with us having to explain what was our favourite elective and why we chose this elective. And then we got down to business! Your main motto was to make us think and you began to write simple series on the board. You called this series Sg which was named after the mathematician Grandi and you began to solve it. When I first saw this series I was really confused and I presumed it would be a long term. But you actually made it easy with some simple substitution and addition and subtraction. I really did think!!! I really want to explore math in games, because I play games often and I never really see the maths in it. It would be interesting

i selected the exploring mathematics course because it seemed very interesting and intriguing.
In the course outline the topic which has interested me the most is the one about cryptography. i took interest in the cryptography subject because it seemed a thoroughly intriguing topic on the intricacies of codes and coded messages and the methods of which a codebreaker uses to identify and crack the code.

In this lesson, we learnt about the specifics of iterated function systems, mainly involving fractals. The sequencing really got me thinking more about how each function corresponds to one another and how they each link with a rule applied to it. Where there was an unbounding sequence, there was also a bounding sequence to go along with it and how they relate to each other. The fractal graph was a highly interesting concept learned, however, the imaginary numbers and real numbers were quite perplexing.

I really enjoyed working on more complex fractals in groups and seeing how it eventually progressed into something more than just triangles, rather a more intriguing pattern of sorts.
The double lesson was challenging yet as usual interesting as we explored the idea of complex numbers and sequences to see how that resulted in some aesthetically pleasing fractals – namely the one seen on your website’s banner.
